"I want to mention one last thing. What is the meaning of guru-puja? Is it only offering some flowers at the lotus feet of Gurudeva? No. It is visvrambhena-guru-seva (service to gurudeva with intimacy). Give yourself fully to guru; surrender. You are not yet surrendered.

manasa, deha, geha, jo kichu mora
arpilu tuwa pade, nanda-kisora!

[Mind, body, family, everything I own I offer at Your lotus feet, O Nanda-kisora! (Manasa, Deha, Geha, verse 1)]

In this prayer, Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura has said, "O Nanda-kisora, whatever I call my own - my children, mother, father, wife, husband, and any other relation - I offer to your lotus feet. Now I am like your dog, so whatever remnants you give me, I will take only that." The disciple is not his own. He totally belongs to Gurudeva, and therefore he may not disobey him. Whatever activities the disciple performs should be to please Gurudeva, and therefore you will need to know how he is pleased.

Srila Rupa Gosvami pleased Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu:

sri-caitanya-mano bhistam sthapitam yena bhutale
svayam rupah kada mahyam dadati sva-padantikam

["When will Sri Rupa Gosvami give me the shelter of his lotus feet? Because he understood the innermost desire of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, he was able to establish His mission in this world and he is very dear to the Lord" (Sri Prema-bhakti-candrika, Narottama dasa Thakura).

He preached the mission of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu by writing books such as Ujjvala-nilamani, Bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu, Vidagdha-Madhava, Lalita-Madhava, and so many others. Srila Rupa Gosvami is also Vyasa (because He has given the process of pure, spontaneous bhakti to Sri Sri Radha and Krsna), and Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is the father of Vyasa (because Vyasa is His manifestation).

So, today is Vyasa-puja, or Guru-puja. You must try to give your entire heart to Gurudeva, keeping nothing for yourself. Everything belongs to Gurudeva, therefore chant, remember, and please him.
Now go at once to take prasadam, and after the eclipse you can go and take bath.

Gaura-premanande."
